Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… University of Rochester researchers have created a superconducting material at both a temperature and pressure low enough for practical applications. This is certainly a historical achievement for superconductivity. In a paper published in Nature, the researchers describe a nitrogen-doped lutetium hydride (NDLH) that exhibits superconductivity at 69° Fahrenheit and 10 kilobars (145,000 pounds per […]

Its another clue to how unconventional superconductors carry electric current with no loss. SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory scientists embedded elementary particles called muons into a many-layered nickel oxide superconductor to learn more about its magnetic properties. They discovered […]

Superconductivity is a fascinating state of matter in which an electrical current can flow without any resistance. Usually, […]

The elusive nuclear fusion offers the potential for a safe, clean and abundant energy source. The process, which also occurs in the sun, involves plasmas, fluids composed of charged […]

Researchers at Temple University and the University of Maryland has discovered a new class of magnets that expand their volume when placed in a magnetic field and generate negligible amounts of wasteful heat during energy harvesting. The researchers, Harsh Deep Chopra, professor and chair of mechanical engineering at Temple, and Manfred Wuttig, professor of materials […]
